Putting Poppies in the Park Together

Gigantic red poppy under construction

Since our last workshop we've been sorting out poppies. And including all big & small poppies - it's official - there's a thousand. (Loud fanfare please.) How fantastic is that - and rather more than expected! We've had to make our poppy twice as gigantic and had to enlist extra help (thanks so much Helen, Kate & Lily for attaching hundreds of poppies!)

So here's just a sneaky peek at what to expect ...Gigantic poppies - above and below - knitted, stitched & crocheted by the local community

Poppies in the Park has been sponsored by the Friends of Rowntree Park, Boyes & Duttons for Buttons and wouldn't have been possible without all the fabulous poppy making plus arm and finger knitting by the local community at workshops and at home. Poppy makers of York - you're the best!

About Me

I create contemporary jewellery and textiles, making use of constructed fabric, buttons and other stuff too. And when I’m not doing that I’m probably yarnstorming, planning the next yarnstorming project or blogging about what I’ve seen, what I’m doing or what I’ve learnt.
